The Ancient Arrow can instantly kill any Guardian if aimed at their eye, and will also vaporize any other enemy, although they will not leave behind any loot that way. They're all effective against Guardians, so Link can slice off the legs of a Guardian Stalker to debilitate it and get more Ancient parts.

Ancient and Guardian weapons are some of the strongest and most useful weapons in the game.The only issue now is that the trials are quite difficult, but if the player is skilled enough, it's possible to power up the Master Sword right after obtaining it, thus giving Link an incredibly powerful sword for the rest of the game. Its durability also shoots up through the roof to 200, 5 times as durable as the base form's already above-average durability of 40.

The trial has three stages, and each one adds 10 extra points of damage to the Master Sword's base power, so once it's fully cleared, it'll basically be in its glowing, double attack state against Malice but permanently. The Trial of the Sword DLC upgrades it further.

The only caveat is that Link needs 13 permanent hearts to obtain it, but it's well worth acquiring. The sword itself has a good attack power of 30, which doubles to 60 when in the presence of Malice or Malice-infused enemies like Guardians. This also makes it a good tool for mining and logging should Link lack the proper tools. It has durability like any other weapon, but when it "breaks", it simply goes on a cooldown for a while, meaning once Link has this, he'll always have some weapon on hand, even if he has to wait a bit.
